YMCA Camping - A summer of fun. A lifetime of memories.

Remember going to summer camp as a kid? How about letting your child make some great camping memories of their own? From sports to music, crafts to theater, horseback riding to swimming, YMCA camps provide fun, adventure and learning for kids ages 5-17.

All YMCA camping programs strive to instill positive values such as caring, honesty, respect and responsibility -- values that help young people make positive choices for a healthy, contributing adulthood. Whether your child is ready for a two-week stay at one of our resident camps or is more interested in the variety of activities at our many day camps, YMCA camps create great memories that last a lifetime.

YMCA Camps are available year-round for conferences or retreats. Scouting troops, YIndian and Adventure Guide groups, churches and youth groups can all make a trip to a YMCA camp the highlight of your program calendar.  Do you have a group that would like to get away for a couple of days? Contact one of our camps for availability and rates.
